Abstract
1. On the basis of the results of the theoretical calculation and the data on the electrolysis of acetophenone in DMF in the presence of a tetrabutylammonium salt, it was shown that the main stable product at the potentials of both the first and the second stages of the electroreduction is 2,3-diphenylbutane-2,3-diol (25–30% yield). 2. Under the conditions of the formation of associates between the anion radicals of acetophenone and the lithium cations or the ethanol molecules, the yield of the pinacone increases by the factor of 1.5-2.
